Sharp and Pointed

 
 
​With a name like "Sharp and Pointed"
I am sure you were expecting a knife or a pair of scissors.
 But what is more 'cutting edge' than a pair of red high heels,
 new from the box - maybe Christian Louboutin
 if your lucky this new year.
The DPW challenge was something sharp that cuts - well...
maybe I stretched that description a bit. ;)

Lady in White Lace

 
​I was intrigued by this lady
 dressed in layers of white organza with lace trim 
and several colorful necklaces.  
She had a bandeau of white lace
 twisted around her dark hair
and tied into a 'flower'.
Couldn't resist painting her.

Rainbow

 
 
​In the PNW rain is a weather staple,
 but often with many sun breaks,
which send beautiful rainbows
arching across the cloudy skies.

Roscoe

 
 
This dog portrait was painted for DPW's pet challenge.
 
Roscoe is an Australian Shepherd,
 loving and loved, with a sweet nature. To say he is intelligent
does not begin to describe the ability he has to understand and perform.
 He is red and white with golden eyes. He is a rescued dog.
No particular nickname - he has been referred to as baby, little buddy,
 and a few other terms of endearment by various members of the household.
 
Gifted - NFS

Three Quilts and an Old Barn

 
 
 
This is a redo of the "Barn Hex".
I added two quilts because I felt the painting called for them.
The one by itself just didn't work for me.

Tree Lighting at the Square

 
 
This beautiful Christmas tree
which stands in what is called
Portland's front porch - the townsquare.
This year the lights are all blues. I love it.
